Some days do not fit into a single trip. A morning on Capitol Hill, lunch downtown, an afternoon meeting in Arlington and a flight out of Reagan National; a visit from your parents that takes in the Mall, Georgetown and dinner; a run of medical appointments where someone needs to wait outside. For days like these DCA Limos offers as-directed service: one vehicle and one chauffeur, reserved by the hour, going wherever the day goes.

Hourly, confirmed before you book
24 / 7
You give us a starting time and a rough plan. The chauffeur stays with you, waits at each stop and adapts when the plan changes. The hourly rate depends on the vehicle and is confirmed before you book, so there is nothing to work out at the end beyond the time used.
Advocacy groups, trade associations and corporate government-affairs teams make up much of our hourly work. A Hill day typically means a string of short meetings split between the House and Senate office buildings on opposite sides of the Capitol, with security lines at each door and little legal parking anywhere close. Your chauffeur drops you at the right entrance, repositions while you are inside and is waiting when you come out, which is often the only way a tight schedule holds together.
The same approach suits law firms, consultants and executives with meetings spread between K Street, federal agencies, Tysons and the Pentagon area. For delegations we use Sprinter vans so that the group arrives together, and for longer programs the same chauffeur can be assigned on successive days.
Washington's monuments are farther apart than they look on a map, and parking near the National Mall is scarce. An hourly chauffeur lets visiting relatives see the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson and the Martin Luther King Jr. memorials, the Capitol, the Washington National Cathedral and Arlington National Cemetery in one comfortable day, with drop-offs close to each and no long walks back to a car. It is particularly worthwhile for older visitors, small children and anyone visiting in midsummer heat.
Our chauffeurs are drivers, not licensed tour guides, but they know the city well and will suggest a sensible order of stops and the best time to see the memorials lit at night.
Georgetown, CityCenterDC, Tysons Galleria and Bethesda Row are all easier when the car is on call. Purchases go in the trunk, the chauffeur circles or stages nearby, and a text brings the vehicle back to the door. For dinner and theater evenings the same booking covers the restaurant, the performance and the ride home.
Families often book hourly service for a parent or relative attending appointments at the region's hospitals and specialist practices, whether at the medical campuses in the District, in Bethesda or in Northern Virginia. The chauffeur assists to the entrance, waits for as long as the visit takes and drives the patient home. Please tell us about walkers, folding wheelchairs or difficulty with steps when you book so we can send the most suitable vehicle. Our chauffeurs offer courteous assistance, but they are not medical attendants.

DCA Limos provides black car service in Washington DC Hourly Chauffeur Service for executives and airport travelers, with real-time flight tracking on every Reagan National (DCA), Dulles (IAD) and BWI pickup and complimentary waiting time built into the fare.
The same chauffeurs and vehicles serve as a Washington DC Hourly Chauffeur Service limo service for weddings, proms and celebrations and as an hourly chauffeur service when your day has several stops.
You reserve a vehicle and chauffeur from a set start time. Billing runs by the hour until the chauffeur drops you at your final stop. A minimum number of hours applies and varies by vehicle; dispatch confirms it, and the rate, before you book.
A rough outline helps us plan, but it is not required. As-directed means you can add, drop or reorder stops during the day and the chauffeur will adapt.
Yes. Many clients begin with a pickup at Reagan National, Dulles or BWI, or finish with a drop-off for an evening flight. Airport pickups are flight-tracked and include complimentary wait time.
Let the chauffeur or dispatch know and we will extend the booking whenever the vehicle is not committed elsewhere, which is usually possible. Additional time is billed at the same confirmed hourly rate.
Call (877) 609-1919 at any hour or book online. Tell us the date, start time, passenger count and the general plan, and we will recommend a vehicle and confirm the rate.
